Explanation:
#"the equation of a parabola in "color(blue)"vertex form"# is.
#•color(white)(x)y=a(x-h)^2+k#
#"where "(h,k)" are the coordinates of the vertex and a"#
#"is a multiplier"#
#"here "(h,k)=(-4,7)" hence"#
#y=a(x+4)^2+7#
#"to find a substitute "(-3,8)" into the equation"#
#8=a+7rArra=8-7=1#
#y=(x+4)^2+7larrcolor(red)"in vertex form"#
